In honor of Saturday - a few kitchen tricks that greatly facilitate my life personally. Not everything is about cooking, but the kitchen is not only about cooking, you know, but the totality of all actions, including cleaning
By the way, I don't like to clean up the kitchen. But you must. You can blame everything solely on your wife, but doing so is a shame. She doesn't love cleaning any more than me. So we are doing our best to simplify the process.
For washing dishes, fortunately, there is a dishwasher - may the person who invented this magnificent gadget be glorious for centuries. No need to clean up pots and pans!
But besides pots and pans, there are tons of surfaces around the hob, for example. And a kitchen apron. You can wash them with the help of all kinds of anti-fats, but here's the trick - any such tool should be used with gloves. I, more often than not, are too lazy to put on gloves. And I have never seen a particularly active anti-fat work - to sprinkle it, and then just wipe it with a paper towel, as in advertising.
A little life hack from me personally: everything is perfectly washed with white laundry soap made in Turkey - it is called Duru. We just wash the sponge well, we already wash the surface well with it, leave it for five minutes, and then wash it off. It also leaves just kitchen plaque (unless there is, of course, carbon deposits several millimeters thick) and hardened droplets of fat. If you walk on a soapy surface with a steam generator, the cleanliness will be pristine.
By the way, our laundry soap does not give such an effect. And it stinks terribly.
Another way of extremely fast cleaning of kitchen surfaces is any, even the cheapest, glass cleaner with ammonia. It is also good if this agent is combined with an antistatic agent.
Of course, for heavily soiled surfaces it will not work, but once a couple of it spend five minutes to write everything and wipe it with paper towels - it's easy, besides, it prevents the kitchen deposits from condensing and eliminates the long cleaning then.
By the way - if a salad or greens are wrapped in a paper towel before they are sent to the refrigerator, they will not get wet and therefore will not rot longer. This works especially well with green onions - no unpleasant odor appears at the base of the peaks.
Of course, this does not make the shelf life infinite.
In general, there are much more such small life hacks. For example, to fry meat so as not to splatter everything with oil, you can grease the piece of meat itself with oil and then send it to a hot frying pan (suitable for fish, but only if the fish is with dense pulp). But, it seems to me, this has already been written many times, so I will not repeat myself.
Do you have any of these small tricks in service?
